Expectation vs Reality

Our entire Sunday was spent doing last minute shopping for the kids and Darling. As I had completed my CNY shopping way in advance, it is now their turn to shop. Shopping with two kids is darn tiring. One moment one of them will complain hungry. After eating, another will poo and then by the time I clean him up the big one will request to go to the washroom and by now the little one will need his milk. And just as we are about to continue shopping again, they’ll be hungry again >_<

So we dropped by Old Town for a light snack. By light snack I meant their Ipoh Hor Fun aka Koey Teow soup to be shared by Ethan and Ayden. I don’t usually allow Ethan to order Ice Kacang as I am not sure if the water is boiled prior to making the ice or not but today, Ethan saw the menu and kept pestering us for it because he said the picture is extremely tempting.

Ethan kept showing us the above picture. He pleaded to let him have that so we finally gave in and ordered that for him. Fifteen minutes later this came:

What the? It was already half melted and everything was in such a mess. The only saving grace was the ice-cream on top but that too tumbled as soon as I moved the bowl -.-

Ethan was still very happy though. Which kid will not I ask you? Get to eat ice kacang…

When Ayden saw Ethan posing like that for the Daddy, he too quickly put out his fingers and smile eventhough the daddy wasn’t paying attention to him. I promptly told the Daddy to take a picture of him too.

There, my little apek with his copycat signature pose.

Eating this ice kacang makes me so sad lah. I missed the one we had in Penang recently. I don’t know where coz it was Ken who drove us there but it was nearby some graveyard.

and there is always one fine-print under those beautifull designed menu which says “for illustration purpose only” sort of to set your expectation.. but then still, that photos are damn beautiful and probably they should say something like “the real thing is approximately 20% as beautiful as what you see“.. agree?? :D
